reappears. If the Scan/Hold key is pressed during a scan, the highlighted feature is selected
and displayed. After the course profile cycles through, the one feature you selected returns to
the display. To return to scanning all the features, you need to press the Scan/Hold key again.
(Note that Heart Rate only appears if you are using the Precor Heart Rate Option.)
Resistance : The or keys change the resistance by changing the force applied against your
stride which decreases/increases your degree of effort. As you change the resistance, the display
indicates the resistance setting (1 through 20). Because of the EFX’s unique design, two different
options exist to increase your level of effort:
• decreasing the resistance and increasing the strides per minute.
• increasing the resistance and keeping the same strides per minute.
Note: Your work effort can also be affected by the Cross Ramp keys.
Customizing the Display
The EFX can display weight in either pounds or kilograms. You can also set the display’s message
scrolling speed. Note that the EFX will retain your selection even when it is turned 0 (OFF) and
unplugged. You can change your selection at any time by repeating the following steps:
1. Start at the banner “PRECOR EFX5.21Si..., Workout Smarter” and press the Pause key.
Then, within 1 second, initiate the following key sequence: Quick Start, Resistance , and
Resistance .
Note: Each key press must occur within 4 seconds of the previous key press or the Precor
banner reappears and you have to begin again.
2. A prompt (either
U.S. Standard
or
Metric Units
) appears.
3. Any or key lets you alternate between the prompts. Make your selection by pressing
Enter while one of the prompts is scrolling past.
5. Adjust the message scrolling speed by pressing any or key. The key causes the
message to scroll faster across the display. Press Enter to select a specific scrolling speed.
The display returns to the Precor banner.
